My vague idea for this week's Summer Fridays mix was that I wanted it to rock. Which is why it includes 10cc, the most rocking band ever. Well this is my idea of rocking, anyway. It's also fairly cheesy (Mud's "Hypnosis" is pretty indefensible) but these are all fun "turn it up dude" songs... all of which I genuinely like. No irony here. Cover art and concept this time comes from my friend Kelly who has already left the office today to start her Summer Friday (though I bet she's still in line at Shake Shack). Enjoy.
1. Sloan - She Says What She Means
2. The Wannadies - Sweet Nymphet
3. Mud - Hypnosis
4. The Bees - Horsemen
5. 10cc - Rubber Bullets
6. The Ark - Rock City Wankers
7. The Damned - Billy Bad Breaks
8. Oranger - Wolfy
9. Cheeseburger - Derby Day
10. Teenage Fanclub - What You Do to Me
11. Badfinger - No Matter What
12. Shakane - Love Machine
13. New Pornographers - Chump Change
14. The Who - Armenia, City in the Sky
15. Diamond Nights - The Girl's Attractive
16. Switches - Step Kids in Love
17. The Cribs - Martell
18. The Sweet - Love is Like Oxygen
19. Adam & the Ants - Antmusic
As always: This in an actual mix, the songs segue together despite being separate tracks... so no shuffle, please! This mix will be available for one week only. If you'd like to contribute cover art to a future mix, drop me a line.
damn. whoever made that artwork is a genius.
